Black Viper's Services Configuration |
This information was originally created and belongs to Black
Viper (Dead link, obviously). There were a lot of pages, so if you dig far
enough reading it here, you will eventually hit dead links from older
pages we do not have. The original scripts are also available for download.
- Do not use msconfig to disable services. Type in the Run box
"services.msc" instead!
- Before disabling ANY service, check out the information listed about each
service by clicking on the name.
- Only disable a few services at a time to avoid changing "50" settings and
trying to figure out "what broke it."
- Still unsure? Put your setting to "manual" or the listing under "Safe."
Manual allows Windows XP to start the service when it needs to (or when ever
it feels like it,) but not at boot up. NOTE: Depending on your configuration,
not all services will start when required while in Manual mode. If you find
you need a service, place it in Auto.
- After adjusting your service settings, reboot your computer.
- If you do not have some of these services listed, don't panic! If your
computer manufacture "pre-installed" your XP, they choose not to have certain
services installed for you.
Notes
Disabling all of the "unneeded services" frees up 12-70MB of RAM,
depending on system.
